Capilano College
Foundation Announces
its 1995/96 Board

¢ Capilano College Foundation
introduced at its: May annual

Forward Thinker with a Big
Heart Benefits Women

A s colleges and universities
scramble to make up for shrinking

provincial funding, individual donors
are being relied upon more and more to
make up for the shortfall.

One North Shore resident has
responded to the financial needs of
Capilano College students with a
charitable method that is gaining in
popularity.

Lee Grills, a longtime member of the
North Shore Women’s Centre, has found
that planned giving is an imaginative
option that can ensure a student’s
continued education. Through her estate,
a scholarship in her name will be
established upon her death to assist a
mature female student with her
education.

With planned giving, a person
bequeaths the money now, with
donations coming from current
disposable income or a bequest in a
donor’s will.

“For me, it’s a pay back,” says Lee.
“A lot of women worked very hard in
the past for equality. This scholarship
will recognize that things were not
always so good for women.”

Lee’s involvement in assisting women
began thirty years ago. Her association
with the Centre began when it was
established in the early 1970s. In 1992
she assisted with the creation of a
permanent fund at Capilano College
which honours the memory of
outstanding North Shore women. The
North Shore Women’s Centre Award
offers financial support to women aged
25 and older who are returning to
college to further their education.

Today, the North Shore philanthropist

Lee Grills’ gift recognizes that “things
were not always so good for women.”
and her husband, George, continue to
donate to Capilano College through the
Award’s endowment fund. Her former
employer is one of more than 400
companies which actively encourages its
employees to support their colleges by
offering to match their contributions.

“Many people working for
corporations don’t even think of donating
locally,” Lee says. “And many residents
don’t realize that the company they work
for may match their donations
